Selene,  very helpfull thank you.  I’m actually using the image as the wall paper on my iPhone and at that size it look quite nice.  I didn’t apply lens correction, hence the heavy lens ...

Matt. Thank you for the comments. I think you guess correctly there was no planning on the location or composition. The location was simply the first gap in the hedge on the road as I drove along ...

You need lots with the kids in.  One day they will grow up turn into teenagers who won't have their photo taken under any circumstances, then they leave home... When I look back through my library ...

Well obviously I care or I wouldn't have asked.  As it was my first attempt, I can see some obvious glaring issues but having comments from people who are already past the baby steps stage would ...

Thank you for the great feedback and advice.  It's much appreciated.  It was my first astro outing and I made some pretty fundamental mistakes but at least I am learning from them!  I only found ...

No one have any advice, comments or criticisms.  Not even a "take up knitting instead" remark?

Yes the 'blobs' are what creates the effect.  They are supposedly a more sophisticated variant of a soft focus filter.  I've never used or seen the results from using them though so have no idea ...

You really expect that? Oh so Cannon have announced an adaptor for existing lens?  And of course that entire lens line up would be adapted not native So the Cannon mirrorless is big then?

Idiot

i can’t see why anyone would want to switch brands unless there was a specific feature or facility that they could get on the alternative brand but not the current. Your question postulates “if the ...

It should be fine. I have a RRS L-Bracket and mount the pd plate on the bottom. Works fine and I leave it on all the time.

Oh I got the inference first time but chose to ignore the rudeness. Seems some  ‘action cam’ people are free with opinions but parsimonious with their help... I posted this as a question not c&c. ...

Yes this is part of that.  Asking people who have experience is a good thing is it not?

Thats excellent news.  I think I'll pick one up to try it.

Mark, thank you.  Thats just the sort of information I'm looking for.  Being able to power from USB is ideal. We can mount the camera with an aluminium heat sink and can even force cool it.  User ...

Yes but all things being equal it's less hard a requirement.  Our current camera has 65 degree HFOV and our SW can handle images from 50 degrees out to 180 degrees. Our primary need right now is ...

I have a project that requires 8 hour continuous recording of 4K video.  I'm looking for an action cam or small size camera that can provide a horizontal FOV somewhere between 90 and 130 degrees. ...

And to state the obvious; the lens has a significant role in both the AF speed and the colour rendition

I just flew back from China to the UK after three months away.  My body clock is not cooperating so I was awake after dark last night and decided to go take a night time image. This was shot about ...

Your right for me. It's increadibly popular in China and the hotel i stay at makes a bit show of using as much durian as it can.  I now no longer will risk eating a 'white' desert when I'm staying ...
